Officially Unveiled: Subaru Exiga Photos

Japan is a MPV heaven. Unlike US there are a lot of 7-seaters in Japan. And today a new car has added those. The Subaru Exiga 7-seater went on sale in Japan.

The Exiga's power comes from a naturally-aspirated 2.0L engine which outputs 146 hp. The sportier GT model with intercooler and turbocharger makes 221 hp. Passengers are treated to a huge panoramic roof.

There are some wagon lovers in other countries too. Especially in the US. But there's no word in the press release that Subaru will bring the Exiga to USA.
